Important Added Info: Note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good to very good. The card had darkened. Approximately half of each blank border had been neatly trimmed off. There was a tiny circle of paper loss in the upper right of the "o" of "Crawford" and a few pinholes around the edges. Overall, the card was in good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed excellent restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still exactly looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. You can see slight signs of the restoration, but the card displays well, but of course, the restorer did not address the darkening issue. Learn More about condition grades
